Sunday,  June 15th

Tiger has never lost when he holds the lead going into the final round of a major.  But he has never gone into the Sunday with a looming injury like today. 

Can he do it?

We are going to start the discussion with this…if Tiger Woods is not in the lead when he tees off on Sunday, can he still win?  He never has… Continue Reading »

Life On-Line Coverage of the 2008 US Open from Torrey Pines

Friday, June 13th

We join the coverage later in the day as Phil Mickelson just made an amazing par on the Par 3 3rd after having hit it over the green down in the canyon.  He played one of his patented flop shots and then hit a bomb of a putt.  Go Phil!  Continue Reading »

Life On-Line Coverage of the 2008 US Open from Torrey Pines

Coverage on ESPN just began…

First thought:  With all the press coverage of Phil and Tiger being paired together, shouldn’t we have been able to see them tee off from hole #1? 

As it is, we were stuck with the golf channel non-video coverage:  “Look, Phil just hit it into the deep rough!” exclaimed Vince Gillini.

Well, Vince, I cannot look because nobody is showing the coverage!    Continue Reading »

Punta Del Este, Uruguay is unlike any other beach town in Uruguay.

 Whereas most beaches in Uruguay are more laid-back and filled with actual Uruguayans, Punta Del Este during the South American summer is the hub of South America’s (and the worlds) elite.

Read this live, on-line, coverage of the match between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the French Open Final, 2008.

This match begins way too early, 8am midwestern time.  I abandoned some festivities early last night to awake at this dreadful hour.  Will it be worth it? 

Doubtful.  The pundits are currently discussing whether Federer has a chance this time.  I like to believe that he does, as I find Nadal to be a somewhat distant warrior.  Nadal is like the silent kid off in the corner mastering his craft while you’re out practicing, but having fun.  Then, when you get in the “ring” with him, you smile and he stares you down like Drago in Rocky IV:  “I must break you.” Continue Reading »

When I am asked, “What is your favorite place in Uruguay, the answer invariably is Cabo Polonio.”  It’s a little slice of Heaven on Earth.

Like Heaven, it is also very difficult to get to-you have to pay attention to what you are doing or you’ll miss it. Continue Reading »

Observations on the Political Speeches Last Night: John McCain is a Kinda Creepy, Hillary is Finally Hillary, and  Barack is Just Plain Cool!

John McCain should not have listened to the advice he received last night:  SMILE!

It was unnatural.  There were moments when it seemed the teleprompter must have parenthetically included:  Smile right NOW and Look At The Camera.  The smile was forced out like a painful delivery and somewhat sinister.  Continue Reading »
